MERRY MAY IN wAsuIsGroN

Washington In the month of May
shines forth In all her vernal glory.
The foliage of 10000 trees will shade
the long lines of her broad, smooth
streets and avenues.
The numerous parks, circles, trinn.
giles and open spaces will be In full
bloom Of flowers and variegated shrub
berry.
The majestic hills that surround the
city will be clothed In their fresh spring
verdure, causing the National Capital
10 present the spectacle of magnificent
National Park interspersed with vast
public buildings, monuments, statuary
and handsome private residences, all
bordered by the broad and silvery Po,
tomac.
No city in the world can compare
with Washington and It's surroundings
in the month of May for natural beauty,
and II is then that its architectural
grandeur is seen to the best advantage.
AS an evidence OF how Washington
is being appreciated in the first month
of flowers and foliage the following
brief calendar of some OF the events TO
occur is appended.
The Jockey Club races will take
place May 3,6.
The divine Patti will sing in opera
Tuesday, May 3.
Forpaughs circus will exhibit on
the 4th and 9TH.
The Association of Hotel Keepers OF
the country will meet on the 10th.
The meeting of the Army of the
Cumberland and unveiling of the Gar.
field statue will occur on May 12.
A reunion Of the California pioneers
resident in Washington will be held
some time during the month.
The grand military encampment will
occupy the week from May 23 to May 80,
and on the 3Oth will take place the i'm
pressive exercises Of Memorial day.
How prohibition works in Rhode
Island is thus described by the Proyi.
denCc journal.
The smaller country. towns where lntem-
perarco and liquor selling have never been
common OF course, romnln In tie same OK
Cellont condition as before. For the rest, the
samo deplornhle conditions which were noted
three months ago are still found, though often
greatly Intensified by continued non enforce

larger communities, the law IS being violated

more numerous than they were three months
ago, and they are selling more boldly anl
openly every day
1t will be said that this condition of
things is not the fault Of the law, but
Of the authorities who neglect their
duty in not enforcing the law. But it
may be said further that no law which
Is not sustained by public sentiment Is
capable of enforcement. So the fault,
after all, rests with the men who made
the law when there was no popular dc.
mand for It.

THE New York Worlds balloon voyage,
though short and not productive of sensational
results, has yield some interesting scientific OBJ
servations. The intention was to travel from
St. Louis to the Atlantic coast by means of the
upper air current which it was hoped to enter.
This part of the programme failed. and, owing
to a series of minor accidents, the balloon was
forced to descend in Clinton county, Illinois.
The distance travelled was nothing like great
MS in some former balloon voyages, but the alti
tude reached was the highest on record in Amer
lea. This 10000 feet, almost exactly
three miles. The temperature at the surface of
the earth on starting was 80 degrees; at a height
of 49, 900 feet it 81 degrees, only five
above freezing point At this point, also, tho
air exceedingly dry, though at altitude
5000 feet it was surcharged with moisture AS

AN act of Congress approved May Is, 1886,
provided for the appointment of a North
western Indian Commission, the object
being to fulfill treaty stipulations with
various Indian tribes and to enable
the Secretary of the Interior to negotiate
with various other tribes in Minnesota, Da-
kota, Montana, Idaho and Washington Terri
tories The main object of the commission
was to consolidate various tribes and reserva-
tons, reducing the size of the latter and ced-
ing the surplus lands to the government at a
fair price. The commission was organized
in July, 1886, and has been quietly at work
since that time and is now about ready to re-
port. 1t has accomplished the object for
which it was appointed and has secured the
opening to settlement of perhaps twenty five
or thirty millions of acres of land, much of
which is rich in valuable timber, gold, silver,
lead and coal, besides vast amount of grazing
land. The Indians will be well provided for
out Of the money to be paid them and will
be placed in the line of civilization.

THE Charleston News and Courieris grieve
because the ex-confederates are, after all. to
have no opportunity TO celebrate the return
of their flags, but it is not disposed to blame
the President for the disappointment. cit is
pity" it says, 'that there was not more
thorough scrutiny in the beginning AL
though it is indubitable that the Presidents
order is rescinded for the reason that he gives,
and for no other reason, plenty of persons will
believe that the Ohio and Iowa protests caused
the change of front. This is unjust, but it is
politics" Plenty of people will believe that
very thing esteemed contemporary. and not
because it is politics." but because it is the
truth. The thought that Northern ideas can
influence the action of Democratic Presi-
dent must be very distressing to the true
Southerner, and there is reason to believe
that Mr.. Cleveland himself writhes under his
bonds but the fact of the matter is he cannot
be elected by that South alone and is obliged
to consider this circumstance. The Southern
brethren should acknowledge the truth, but
may comfort themselves in their disappoint-
ment with the reflection that he would not
have withdrawn the order concerning the flags
if he could have helped himself.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1887-06-20

THE opinion is gaining ground in Washing
ton that Secretary Lamar will be appointed to
the vacant place on the Supreme Bench. AS
it is foregone conclusion that Southern
probably do as we'll any. Besides, this
would leave a vacancy in the Cabinet which
could be filled by another Southern man, thus
notifying, in some degree, the disappoint-
ment of the confederate States" at not get
ting their flags back.
